unemployed with useless degrees.

Heard that alot recently, kinda swaying my decision. Alot of people say stuff like "If they are good enough they'll ask you to come back once you've finished" But then I argue that the position has long gone and wont be available for months, and my degree will become a nice decoration for my wall.

Just want to say, that I personally think University is a very very important thing! This is after 7 years of moving around, taking breaks and completing my BSc with paaaaiiinnn.... but it's worth it I swear! Good Luck!

I am fully in favor of going to a university. No matter what your profession or degree. I went for fine art (Painting & Drawing particularly). Now, I'm working on translating those visual skills to self-taught web design/development.

Going to school isn't just about getting a job or choosing a career - it's about mental maturity and cultural awareness (it's more about being a human being than about learning a skill set). It's learning for the sake of learning. Education is never a bad thing or a waste of time.

I'd say job all the way, you're only as good as your portfolio in my opinion and a job will build that up better than uni would, but it's important to keep learning all the time
